David Byrne, known as the force behind Talking Heads, also works as a photographer, film director, author, and solo artist. Grown Backwards was Byrne's first Nonesuch release, followed by the reissue of his collaboration with Brian Eno My Life in the Bush of Ghosts; The Knee Plays; his collaboration with Fatboy Slim on the life of Imelda Marcos, Here Lies Love; and, with Caetano Veloso, Live at Carnegie Hall. “There are a few artists today who are so original in what they do that one can truly say they sound like no one else in the world,” says label president Robert Hurwitz.
